Meeting Ice Breakers - Are You ListeningThe below meeting ice breakers are meant to certainly loosen up everyone, as well as get a few good laughs. I would not mention that you are trying to test their listening skills, this may tip them off. You should be able to have a lot of fun with this. Question 1 In the State of California they have had a number of propositions voted on in the past few years. The most recent one voted on was whether a woman was permitted to marry her widowed sister's husband. Was it passed or not? Neither - it is not legal to marry a dead person - Yet! Question 2 Recently the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees played five consecutive games. Everyone that knows anything about baseball knows that this is an intense rivalry. During this stretch of five games they both won three games and none of the games ended in a tie. How is this possible? They both played two different teams - they were not playing against each other! Question 3 You are in the middle of the woods and it is snowing and very cold. You spot an empty cabin. When you enter the cabin you notice a match, a wood fire place, a portable propane heater, and a central air heater all within the cabin. In order to warm up the cabin the quickest, which one would you light first? Hopefully you would light the match! Question 4 How many birth dates does an average male have in their lifetime? Just one - but they celebrate it each year they are alive! Question 5 A large tour group flew to Mexico and enjoyed one full week on the beautiful beaches. On the flight home the plane developed mechanical problems and had to crash land right on the border of Mexico and the United States. Both countries provided rescue workers and crews to clean up the debris. After a long Federal Investigation. they determined that the crash was due to human error, which prompted a quick debate as to where the survivors could be buried even though they were all United States citizens. Where do you think they should be buried? Survivors should not be buried since they are still alive! Question 6 A boy and his father were traveling down a highway close to their home and were involved in a terrible traffic accident. The father unfortunately was killed instantly, but the boy was rushed to the local hospital where they needed to perform emergency surgery to save his life. The Surgeon entered the operating room and screamed out that this is my Son! Who is the doctor? The doctor is the boys Mother! Question 7 You give your child a one dollar bill so that they can pick out a piece of candy in a local supermarket. Your child picks out a piece of candy that with tax and everything comes to .45 cents. Your child hands the cashier the one dollar bill. The cashier gives three coins back as change; however, one of the coins is not a nickel. What are the three coins your child got back as change? Your child should have gotten back 2 quarters and 1 nickel! Only one of the coins was a nickel, the other two were quarters! Question 8 I know that there must be some of you that are very good at math. We know that there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and finally 24 hours in any day. If the month of April has 30 days in it, how many 2nd,s are there in the month? I will give you one minute to provide the correct answer. Any month on a calendar only has one day that is declared the 2nd, so the answer is only one! Question 9 You declare to the class that you have gotten very good at saying "All Fifty States" in less than one minute. You have been practicing this with your family. You think that you have gotten so good that you can probably do this in less than forty five seconds now and everyone will be able to clearly understand what you are saying. Ask the class by a show of hands how many do not think you can do it. If no one raises their hands, lower the time by five seconds until you get a significant amount of people to raise their hands. Then appoint someone as the time keeper and someone else as the person to record what you say so that everyone will agree that you accomplished it. They will start the time when you begin. AII you say is "All Fifty States" , then tell them you are finished! You just said "All Fifty States" in less than the time allowed! Question 10 Everyone I am sure has heard the story of Noah and the Ark where he took a pair of animals from every type animal onto the Ark with him. I can't even get my kids to pick up the mess from one dog, let alone what this job must have been like. Anyway it was an amazing thing. I was recently doing an Internet search and found some interesting information. The question is, how many different types of animals did Moses take onto the Ark with him? The answer is that Moses didn't take any animals onto the Ark. Noah did! Thank you and may God Bless you! |
